8.You have one brief passage with 5 questions following the passage.Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives . PASSAGE Every profession or trade,every art and every science has its technical vocabulary,the function of which is partly to designate things or processes which have no names in ordinary English and partly to secure greater exactness in nomenclature.Such special dialects or jargons are neccessary in technical discussion of any kind.Being universally understood by the devotees of the particular science or art,they have the precision of a mathematical formula.Besides,they save time,for it is much more economical to name a process than to describe it.Thousands of these technical terms are very properly included in every large dictionary,yet,as a whole,they are rather on the outskrits of the English language than actually within its borders. Different occupations,however,differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies.In trades and handicrafts and other vocations like farming and fishing that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times,the technical vocabulary is very old.An average man now uses these in his own vocabulary .The special dialects of law,medicine,divinity and philosophy have become familiar to cultivated persons. #Q Special words used in technical discussions

should resemble mathematical formula
should be confined to scientific fields
